Canine pets have a tendency to cause trouble due to their playful and inquisitive nature. They seldom take the time to weigh the potential dangers of their actions or excursions, which can result in mishaps. In fact, dogs are capable of getting themselves into incredibly tight predicaments, such as becoming wedged inside a pipe, as this particular pooch experienced.
The Kennett Fire Department in the southern US town of Arbyrd received a distress call about a stray dog that had become stuck in a pipe and was difficult to rescue. This was a critical situation that required immediate attention.
Upon arrival, the rescue team quickly realized the severity of the situation at hand. As reported by Kait 8, it was on the morning of May 20th last Thursday when the poor animal became trapped in the Black Gold Potato Field area.
Liberating her from the tube was no easy feat and required both elbow grease and advanced machinery. The firefighters spent a painstaking five hours delicately removing the tangled fuzz before having to resort to cutting the tube in order to free her.
Fire chief Paul Spain shared that they took great caution in selecting the location and method of cutting. They also faced difficulty in ensuring the animal remained calm during the process.
According to Spain, they were successful in reducing it to a minimum. However, the unfortunate creature was exhausted, severely lacking in hydration, and starving.
To be precise, the dog had to be transported to the Kennett Veterinary Clinic with a tube attached to her. After arriving, the veterinary team put her under anesthesia and successfully removed the remaining pieces of metal that were hindering her movement.
Spain expressed that the dog was happily wagging his tail each time they removed the pipe, and his alertness had increased. This outcome was pleasing to them as pet lives are just as valuable as human lives. The fact that the rescue team contacted them made them even happier. The fireman also mentioned that the dog would be placed in a loving home.
